Groundbreaking new home automation app enables complete setup and control right from the iPad® Crestron, the leader in control and automation solutions for over forty years, has unveiled Crestron Pyng, the app that IS the home automation system. For years, home automation apps have been add-ons to control systems that are programmed using computers. Now, technology integrators can create lifestyle scenes for each room, schedule events, and much more right from an iPad®. The whole house can be ready in minutes without ever opening a laptop. Crestron is demonstrating all the powerful homeowner and integrator benefits of Crestron Pyng at CEDIA® EXPO 2014 booth #150. Setting up a new home is streamlined by pairing Crestron Pyng accessories with the app. Accessories include Crestron wireless lighting controls, thermostats, as well as security systems. Unlike home automation apps that control one device, or offer limited, “DIY-level” performance, Crestron Pyng controls the same award-winning Crestron professional products found in the world’s most prestigious homes. “Pyng is home automation built from the app up,” said Robin van Meeuwen, CEO at Crestron International. “With Pyng, you are not adding an app to your automation system. The app is your automation system.” A compact hub connects accessories with the app, runs scenes and events even without the presence of an iPad and continuously backs up all home settings to the cloud – so making changes is easy and secure. Once the initial set up is complete, anyone can easily modify settings or create new scenes right from the app. Adding a new iPhone® or iPad is effortless. Simply open the app while connected to the home Wi-Fi® network and the controls appear instantly. Crestron Pyng empowers homeowners to make changes to scenes and settings themselves with the confidence that their integrator can restore to an automatic cloud backup if they wish to undo any adjustments. Any Crestron technology can be easily added to a Crestron Pyng system, including DigitalMediaâ„¢, distributed audio and more. Seamless compatibility with the rest of the Crestron product line enables the Crestron Pyng app to run right on a TSW touch screen, and for events in the AV system to trigger environmental scenes within Pyng.
